Ureteral stricture is a narrowing of the lumen of the ureter, the ducts that carry urine from the kidneys to the bladder, resulting in an obstruction. Ureteral strictures may arise from a variety of causes and are characterized as either anastomotic or nonanastomotic, depending on how they develop. They may also be benign or malignant.
Urethral Stricture
Urethral stricture is an abnormal narrowing of the urethra (the tube that releases urine from the body).
Erectile Dysfunction
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is the inability of a man to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for his sexual needs or the needs of his partner. Most men experience this at some point in their lives, usually by age 40, and are not psychologically affected by it.
Male Infertility
Infertility is the inability to conceive after at least one year of unprotected intercourse. Since most people are able to conceive within this time, physicians recommend that couples unable to do so be assessed for fertility problems.
In men, hormone disorders, illness, reproductive anatomy trauma and obstruction, and sexual dysfunction can temporarily or permanently affect sperm and prevent conception. Some disorders become more difficult to treat the longer they persist without treatment.
